Pangolins - Yet Another Disgraceful Hub For Thailand

[francescoassisi]

What's a Pangolin?delicious apparently

"The Guardian provided a description of the killing and eating of pangolins: "A Guangdong chef interviewed last year in the Beijing Science and Technology Daily described how to prepare a pangolin: 'We keep them alive in cages until the customer makes an order. Then we hammer them unconscious, cut their throats and drain the blood. It is a slow death. We then boil them to remove the scales. We cut the meat into small pieces and use it to make a number of dishes, including braised meat and soup. Usually the customers take the blood home with them afterwards.'"

104 pangolins were discovered this week in an SUV bound for the Chinese market.

This is an ongoing problem
